General ⇒ RGB to CMYK

[nifty]

I am using Textures to set a book. I am using the BOOK class. The printer requires files in CMYK. I've set up the palatte and changed all the colors that I use to CMYK. When I create a PDF, there are some stray RGB colors, mainly in the folios and running heads. For the past 10 years I've just run the files through Pitstop to convert all RGB to CMYK. I was wondering if there was something I could put in the preamble to force the black RGB to CMYK. I've tried redefining the color black to 0,0,0,1 but that doesn't seem to do it. Below is a page with Acrobat set to show all non-CMYK colors. The text at the bottom of the page is the figure caption. BTW: I create a .ps file from Textures and then use Distiller to create the PDF.

Does the "cmyk" option to the xcolor class help? If I'm reading the documentation correctly, it says that using that option will convert all color definitions to CMYK.

Thanks kaiserkarl13. It didn't change what what outside the trim, but everything inside was changed. This is great. Will save me a couple of steps in the future.
